Google advertising cookies

Google uses cookies to help serve the ads it displays on the websites of its partners, such as websites displaying Google ads or participating in Google certified ad networks. When users visit a Google partner’s website, a cookie may be dropped on that end user’s browser.

Users may opt-out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting the ads settings manager. When you use features that are connected to Google’s products and services while you are logged into accounts on platforms belonging to Google (like an embedded YouTube video while logged into YouTube or when you are logged into your Google account), anonymous data is collected. To make sure you know what data of yours is collected and change your preferences, visit Google’s Privacy Checkup.
